a New Boo,msItng System,


A new system OF bootmaking has
been perfected in which the method
OF securing the soles, uppers aud in
soles together is the exact reverse of
the ordinary wholesale system. In
the latter the uppers are attached TO
the insoles by small tacks, the points
Of which in time protrude into tho
wearers feet, besides which their
use is accompanied by other disad.
vantages. The sole is then scored or
channelled round to receive the
stitching, by which il is OF course
weakened and its water resisting
power greatly reduced. In the "Ab
Intra" system the tacks are deity
put into the insole by handy ma
chine, the fiat heads of the nails
being flush with the surface Of the
insole and towards the wearers feet.
The insolc is then placed on the last
with the points upwards, and the up.
per is pulled over them and made fast
BY means Of hollow tool, with which
the operator passes down the leather
over the point OF each nail. The
sole is then placed over the pro,rud-
ing point OF each nail and hammered
down, few smart blows serving TO
secure the sole 10 the upper aud
insole. 40 perfectly are the three
united that IL requires tools aud
great force 20 separate them. The
secret OF this great cohesive power
lies in the form Of the nail, which
has shoulder near It's point, and in
section resembles an open harpoon.
Hence, when driven into leather the
latter closes over the shoulder OF the
nail and de6cs all but the most
severe efforts Co extract il. After
the sole has been secured the boot is
finished In the usual way. the time
occupied in fixing the sole being
about half that required 10 the ordi.
nary machine boot process. Tho
value Of the system is strongly at.
tested by practical boot aud shoe
manufacturers, and Il appears likely
TO effect a marked change in the con.
dition Of the wholesale boot manu-
featuring trade.

fusing Boulanger's i'll considered
challenge.
III presume" Recevereau retorted,
sharply, that you would have done
the same in the circumstances ?"
There is a way to ascertain that"
Maupassant answered, quietly, with
out asking any questions"
Completely at your service"
returned Recevreau, and left the
table.
Next morning the challenge passed.
Seconds were appointed and the fight
arranged.
M Meyer..informed the reporter
that the duel was really the climax
OF feud OF some years standing be.
tween the oombatants. He added,
TOO, that the men virtually represent
cd in this affair the two factions Of
the French colony in this city, whose
sentiments toward Boulanger are at
decided variance.
W hen asked il the men we're thor
oughly in earnest when they faced
one another in Fort Lee Mr.. Meyer
said
IL was Quartermaster General OF
tho Army Of the Commune; the
other seconds on this Jon are all
ex-officers OF the French army. We
have too much respect for the code
to arrange the details OF deliberate
fiasco."
The affair was discussed freely
with the reporter by a party OF
French gentlemen whom he met by
appointment last evening at the
Hoffman House.
They we're willing to give all de-
tails with the exception OF the names
OF the principals.
They stated. too, that the princi
pies represented by the tircurs were
not settled by the combat at Fort
Lee. Another duel, they predicted,
would grow out Of the Boulanger.
Ferry matter. aud that il would not
end until ono or the other of the
duelists fell with a serious wound.
NJ. Maupassant, who is an elderly
bachelor Of ffty-fve years, il was
said at late hour last evening, had
lett the city for a season, when he
learned that tho affair had reached
the press.
His opponent is confident that in
the lack Of suitable evidence the
authorities will make no move in
the matter.
The penal code OF New York pro-
yldes that any person engaging in
duel with deadly weapons is punish
able by imprisonment for mt less
than two years nor more than ton
years.
Seconds and witnesses OF such com.
bats are punishable by an imprison.
ment Of not more than seven years.
